Hey there and hello my friends! I am tickled to announce my third story acceptance. It is an homage to a song by Cat Stevens that I turned into a deliciously haunting little ghost story. They loved it at Song Story Press and now I patiently wait for the anthology publication date to be announced. Need I say... Wabba Dabba Doo?

congratulations, randy. glad to see you getting your work out there.

My review of Paul Tremblay's Swallowing a Donkey's Eye is now live at The Nervous Breakdown. A satirical, near future look at a dystopian world. Loved it.

A fantastic collection of stories.

Nice. Too many writers seem to forget that no matter what they're writing about they are, in essence, telling a story, so many reviews end up reading like a cooking recipe, but yours was actually interesting and very well-written.

thanks. this collection is not that "horrific" but i know we all read more than just horror here. if you want to see other titles that i've reviewed, here's a link to all of my book reviews at TNB. i do tend to lean towards dark fiction, but there's a range in my reviews: Matt Bell, Ben Percy, Paul Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones, and Craig Davidson, for example. And several dark ladies as well, Tina May Hall, Lindsay Hunter, Jac Jemc, Amelia Gray, Kio Stark, Ethel Rohan, etc.
